my new dryer! what ya think?
    #8754796 - 08/10/08 07:22 PM (15 years, 7 months ago)

well i bought a ronco dehydrator and just didn't feel comfortable with heat drying. i just happened to have 4 extra computer fans and a dremel. so i wired up 4 fans to a 12v power cord thing from radio shack. then i zip tied the fans together. i then cut out the bottom of the dehydrator, i cut out a circle but if i had to do it again i would have cut a square. i was afraid that the fans might rattle so i cut out a piece of cardboard to use as a shock absorber between the fans and the dehydrator. drilled holes so i could zip tie the fans to the dehydrator then just plug in and use. make sure you plug in your fans and see which way they blow. i have mine blowing into the inside. so far its working perty good. so what ya think? any ideas to help me improve?

Looks nice.  I'd have kept the heating element in if it'd dry under about 130*F or so!  I can dry a full 4-racks on my Nesco in under 24 hours, and potency loss is completely unnoticeable.

But good work either way.  Nothing quite like the home-made devices.

i changed it more becuase i didnt like leaving the apartment with it on. i just had this paranoid feeling like the plastic would melt or catch something on fire while i was gone. i did this more to put my nerves at ease even though i know the chances are slim to non something would happen.

Always better safe than sorry!

Especially when the authorities might be involved....
